RE: [h-e-w] Emacs 21.3

[Peter Milliken]

Hi David,

Mingw 2.4.1 according to the Cygwin setup app :-)

Thanks, this patch has fixed the problem - I will start "listening" on the
emacs-devel ML :-)

Hope everyone had a good weekend,
Peter

Maybe are you using the mingw runtime 2.3 or 2.4?
There is a compatibility problem between that runtime and Emacs,
because of change in the way it handles binary vs. text IO mode.

Notice that the development version (in CVS) is affected too.

The following patch (discussed in the emacs-devel ML) fixed that
problem for me.

Hope it will help.

David
